ErikD said:IIRC around 20 degrees per side worked well on mine, but then I use a Spyderco Sharpmaker. On Lansky I believe you have an option of 17 or 22 degrees? 17 would be a bit more fragile, but also a bit sharper. 22 should shave just fine if sharpened properly but would be a bit more durable, and appropriate to the type of knife here.
